Didn’t have time to take a photo of something messy so I browsed through my collection and found these photos of messy Shaynna: Messy means a toddler eating chocolate: Messy hair, smiling face: Thank you for dropping by! I hope you are all enjoying the holidays!
I wasn’t that adventurous on food during my first stay here in 2001-2002. But this time, I’m braver at trying out food and drinks that I considered weird. Here’s a list of food and drinks that I find interesting. Most of these are now my favorites. 1.) Green tea ice creamAs you open the cover, [...]
My first home in college was a neat boarding house, but mattresses were not provided, so I had to buy a new one. However, after a few weeks, my roommates and I woke up with itchy and reddish swells all over. Much to our disgust, we discovered that those were doings of bed bugs! How [...]
My alarm went off at 7:00AM but it’s “that time of the month” and I’m having my share of monthly pains. A part of me wanted to go to work, another part screamed that I was supposed to take the day off because it’s Christmas day! In the end, I decided to dwell on the [...]
A few more minutes and it’s gonna be Christmas. As I laid down on my bedroom floor, beside me were 5 empty bottles of beer, I thought of home… Nah, I didn’t drink even a single drop of something alcoholic. First, I only drink when I badly need sleep, but I no longer do that. [...]
I went out this afternoon, not with a Japanese guy, but with a Japanese gal and a friend, Akane-san.

Indeed, some Japanese families now practice gift-giving but for those who are single and/or available, Christmas [...]
Christmas decors I always pass by here in Osaka:Merry Christmas!

Gift-giving season is here! Even if I’m away from home, I still prepared a gift list. As I went through the list and if I were home, I would have given a certain person the same gift for years! T-shirts, hankies, wallets, socks – these things have repeatedly appeared in my list. Furthermore, I guess [...]
My parents finally listened to me and put their digital camera into action. But, it’s not always easy to take pictures of Shaynna… Shaynna in a bad mood: Shaynna in a light mood: Yes, she’ll give you good poses if she’s in a light mood. Taken last week, December 12. I should remind my parents [...]
Here my Christmas wishes for those who are closest to me: 1. A trip abroad for my parents. My mother have always wanted to have a passport and a “stamp” on her passport. Also, they haven’t been to a holiday ever. So this would serve as their 30th year honeymoon! 2. Little playhouse for my [...]
